Team Singapore's Nur Syahidah Alim may have retained her gold medal in the women's individual compound open final at the ASEAN Para Games on Thursday but has loftier goals in mind as she hopes to inspire more to pick up the sport.

Singapore will field its largest away contingent of 569 athletes for a Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur this August. The athletes will take part in 35 sports at the 29th SEA Games.
